Beyond the norm

The European Beech trims very well to form a classic European-hedge effect. The fresh spring new leaves are vibrant green, maturing to a dark green before turning yellow in the autumn and then browning and holding over the winter months. This makes for an ever-changing hedge through the seasons.
